Yet the actions taken do more "harm" to the Western Democracy than anything the Islamist have done? All they have done is kill people, which as you seem to demonstrate is no big deal. They cant take away your basic freedoms by killing people. You have to let them.

No one lives for ever. If you have to sacrifice what you believe is right to live another day, then (IMHO) you are eventually going to be disappointed. If people are giving their lives to "bring freedom" to the oppressed and defend our "way of life" it seems especially churlish to get all scared at home and sacrifice our freedoms and modify our way of life just to stay alive.

I don't know what barry means in this context. Sorry. What ever his plans are, I will still be in the US next month. If he wants to "post edit my face" I will let him know where I am and he can try it. If he is just all talk, well, the status quo will remain and he will continue to sound off like he is born again hard. |
